The Government learned their lesson

In class this week we discussed embedded journalists and government influence over what they write. I'm in no way for government censorship of news but, I'm also in no way surprised when they do alter what reporters write. Uncut truth is dangerouse to any government. One of the reasons i think the government is so quick to censor what comes out of wartime coverage is because of how accurate the embedded journalists during the Vietnam war reported what was going on. The graphic scenes of war coming out of the Vietnam jungle had a lot to do with the anti-war movement during the sixties and seventies. In short i think the government learned their lesson and will always be weary of giving journalists full freedom.
